Help batch saving elements of a list into unique files
Very close! The header now looks like this: c("10", "11", "1_", "HuEx", "1_0", "st", "v2", "", "CEL")
For some reason, it's not concatenating.

I think it's the "unlist". I can only test this with one set of made
up names at a time.
names(out[[affdf]])<-
lapply(strsplit(names(out[[affdf]]),"[.]"),drop_token1)
